Easy Iced Coffee: Grady’s Cold Brew Kit comes in a Pour & Store Pouch

Sometimes when you make your own cold brew, finding a container to put it in can be annoying, but the folks over at Grady’s came up with a clever idea. They packaged Grady’s Cold Brew Kit into a Pour & Store Pouch, so steeping a fresh batch of Grady’s cold brew just got a whole lot easier.

“Figuring out a way to brew the Bean Bags in their packaging was always a big goal for us,” said Grady Laird, the founder of Grady’s Cold Brew. “We had some messy experiments early on using our tins. Those puppies aren’t exactly 100% water-tight. You don’t have to sop up too many fridges before you know it’s time to move on. So that’s why we came up with the Pour & Store Pouch. It was the last component missing to make a full “just add water” Cold Brew Kit that can pretty much go anywhere.”

You don’t need any other equipment. All you have to do is throw a Grady’s Cold Brew Bean Bag, which is filled with coffee, spices and chicory, into the pouch, and pour water in to fill it up. Then, you stick it in the refrigerator overnight, and when you wake up in the morning, you’ll have fresh cold brew ready to go! The pouch carries 12 whole cups and the coffee lasts for two weeks, so you can have an ample amount for yourself every morning for over a week, keep everyone happy and caffeinated at the office, or you can host a bunch of your friends over for brunch. Save yourself all that money you spend on cold brew — if you compare it to purchasing a cup of iced coffee at Starbucks every morning, you’ll save $80 a month —  at your local café and get something nice.

“The Kit is self-contained—you need no other equipment, just water, to brew the perfect cup of iced coffee,” says Laird. “You can take the Kit camping, on a picnic, on a boat, or just to share in your office kitchen—and it’s the perfect gift for coffee lovers.”

The distinctive brewing method of cold brew coffee sets it apart from every other type of coffee out there. Unlike traditional hot drip coffee or even iced coffee, cold brew coffee is brewed at a low temperature over many hours, giving it a truly one-of-a-kind taste. As a coffee connoisseur, I sometimes have to hold back a scoff when people interchange iced coffee and cold brew (they're really not the same thing). Unlike iced coffee, drinking cold brew offers a variety of unique benefits worth knowing about. These cold brew coffee benefits might just convince you to make the switch.
Cold brew coffee benefits: Taste

I get excited about the benefits of cold brew coffee, but the taste benefits excite me the most. I've always enjoyed drinking coffee in any cold form, but iced coffee always seems too bitter (especially when not appropriately made or with poor-quality coffee). To me, the reduced bitterness is one of the greatest benefits of cold brew coffee.

Comparing caffeine in cold brew to other types of coffee
Cold brew coffee

One of the best things about cold brew coffee is its smoothness. The smooth taste and low acidity make cold brew coffee too easy to slurp down if I'm not paying close attention. Though cold brew coffee is both delicious and refreshing, it's also reasonably high in caffeine which can hit you quickly if you're casually sipping on cold brew without considering the caffeine content.

If you've ever gotten carried away and enjoyed your cold brew a little too much, you may have faced the coffee jitters (I know I have), leading you to wonder just how much caffeine is in cold brew coffee. It's been great to see so many coffee companies emerging with decaf cold brew options I can enjoy without feeling so restless. But does cold brew coffee have more caffeine than your average cup of hot coffee? Or, more caffeine than iced coffee? Let's explore.

The new Cold Brew Collection delivers a curated lineup of smooth, barista-quality beans, roasted to order and sent straight to your door. Trade Coffee, known as America's #1 specialty coffee marketplace, says "Cold brew is long past trend status", acknowledging that this coffee trend is here to stay. Despite a rise in cold brew coffee options, many cold brew lovers still hassle with inconsistent taste, finicky gear, and endless trial and error. The new Cold Brew Collection takes the guesswork out of finding the right beans to make exceptional cold brew coffee.
Consumers can choose from the new Cold Brew Subscription, which delivers whole bean or pre-ground cold brew-friendly coffee beans every four weeks, or opt for à la carte options available in Standard (10.93 oz) bags or big bags (2 lb) since cold brewing requires more coffee grounds per batch.

With that in mind, they're proud to announce this innovative cold brew option for cold coffee lovers everywhere to enjoy.
